Original post here.
Thought I'd cross-post since the original is buried on page 22 of the dead pixel thread.
Just called BMWNA to get the ball rolling on replacing my now completely failed radio display - no dice. They are only helping owners with failed pixels in the odometer display.
VERY frustrating. I'd love to know if anyone has an idea on how I might appeal this. I thought BMW would step up and do the right thing with these chronically failing displays.
Has there ever been any talk of a class action suit? Seems like an obvious path since their failure rate is appallingly high and consumers are left holding the bag for BMW's engineering mistakes.
For those of you shopping for E39's, factor in the price of replacing the radio display if it hasn't been done already.
